Ingenious machine Making life easy for me Ingenious machine, Ingenious machine One button pressed for entry A real world opens for me I am no longer free Ingenious machine, Ingenious machine Taking over my life I am no longer free My connection to everyone (x 2) Ingenious machine, Ingenious machine This mobility Everything it has given me I am no longer free They come in all shapes and sizes In boxes big and small See my smile when I open them Remove the plastic, throw away Turn it on for the first time Create the logon just for me Feel the smoothness in my hand Made with care and true love What more could anyone want Is there anything more to say? How happy I am to be Just me with my machine My connection to everyone Connected to no-one……….

Doubt 04:27
“It seems that the meaning of life, is in the search for meaning, no matter what the outcome may be” “You let me in” The doubt in your mind Will be left behind Don’t let it in Don’t let it in “If this involves great struggle, then even in the struggle there is a kind of peace…peace…peace” “You let me in” The doubt in your mind Will be left behind Why do we fail, just when we are needed? It is the message, that’s not been heeded! Why do we fail, just when we are needed? It is the message, that’s not been heeded! “It seems that the meaning of life…. is in the search for meaning, no matter what the outcome may be…the meaning of life” “You let me in” The doubt in your mind Will be left behind Don’t let it in Don’t let it in Why do we fail, just when we are needed? It is the message, that’s not been heeded! Why do we fail, just when we are needed? It is the message, that’s not been heeded! Why do we fail, just when we are needed? It is the message, that’s not been heeded!

Reaching Out 01:16
I’m reaching out Help me to learn To grow and earn To understand What my soul does yearn I feel alone Lost in my space About to be blown To another place How do I find myself? How will I know? What signs will I see? To whom do I bow? I’m reaching out to you I’m reaching out to you I’m reaching out I’m reaching out I’m reaching out

And I’m coming to get you (I will see it through) And I think that you knew (You know it’s true) The favours that you accrue (How can you do?) The pictures that you drew (You have no clue!) I’m coming to get you I’m coming, I’m coming I’m coming to get you I’m coming, I’m coming So what is your view? (It is on a skew) Need a change in venue (Time you flew) I have done the review (Now leave that crew) No longer to be blue (It’s time that you grew) I’m coming to get you I’m coming, I’m coming I’m coming to get you I’m coming, I’m coming Bud-up………. I’m coming to get you I’m coming, I’m coming I’m coming to get you I’m coming, I’m coming And I’m coming to get you I’m coming And I think you knew You now it’s true Bud-up……….

It would be nice to know you better To know your name and who you are Though you are there and I am here I feel that we are drawing near I would like to know in what you believe To see whether we can ever be It would be nice to know you better It would be nice……..and better

Didn’t understand What it meant to you Only saw it my way For so long, you give to me For so long, you gave to me Can I tell you? That I live my life With so much learned from you Learnt from what you do For so long, you gave to me For so long, you give to me For so long, you gave to me For so long, you give to me Didn’t understand It’s your helping hand So I thank you And all that you do You make my day In every way For so long, you gave to me For so long, you give to me For so long, you gave to me For so long, you give to me Didn’t understand It’s your helping hand To loves promised land That helps me expand Didn’t understand It’s your helping hand To loves promised land That helps me expand Didn’t understand……………

No Race 05:43
Is this the end I see? Is this the end for we? Working together That’s what we need All races as one Regardless of decree My brother, my sister and me No difference between anyone No hate to bring us undone Working together That’s what we need All races as one Regardless of decree It’ not so hard…not so hard A good person is skin free…skin free…free…skin free In my short life And those that I meet The love that I feel, why do we compete? That’s what we need All races as one Regardless of decree It’ not so hard…not so hard A good person is skin free…skin free Isn’t this what all religion’s say? Isn’t this what it is all about? As one, come together As one, no race Come, together As one, no race Come, together As one, no race, come together
